Atomic Systems

Is it possible to do that (model in SketchUp, export to 3DSMax, then export to MSTS)? Would it work with Gmax? If so, I might get a little more out of SketchUp, having built (so far only static) rolling stock models. I have tried modelling in various programs but found it very complicated, until I f...

What type of valve gear is that? Looks fun to animate - I finally got my head around Baker by building a lego model. This looks cool though...

Nice looking engine, and nice modelling too. I'm still only just getting the hang of SketchUp! Seriously though, good work.

OK, thanks for the help everyone, particularly pointing to other signal models. As for the signal files in the last post, I couldn't find them in the scenery/Uk signals section of the download library. I'll send a PM to John (the author of the UQ signals set) right away...

Erm... thanks for trying, but as I said above, when I try downloading the upper quadrant signals, I don't seem to get the right file. I've made sure it's not the patch I choose, but still I can't seem to get to the "Signals UQ with Animated Counter Balance Arms" file - I just get " UQ Signals Upgrad...

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right section of the forum, but here goes... I've started on a route to get used to the Route Editor, and I'm keeping it quite simple, but I was wondering if it's possible to download any upper quadrant semaphore signals from anywhere. Before anyone posts a link t...

Nice work! It really captures the character of the original. I love the whistle too, it's something that really makes a model for me. However, if I can be picky, I think that the rear splashers need their ends separating like the cylinders. Also, I think there were some pictures in Model Rail at som...

Thanks for that, I'll try it out once the download queues have gone down...

Hi, it's me again... Sorry Kevin, but once again, is there any chance of you uploading Dolgoch in truescale? I can't help but think that 2x scale just doesn't feel quite right. I (not being very knowledgeable about loco building and all) assume it can't be too difficult if you have the source files....

I discovered another method of making net curtains when building a Ratio house kit - get an ordinary paper tissue, or failing that, a piece of loo roll (not textured). It will probably be made up of several layers of (very thin) paper. If you can get just one of these layers, and carefully cut it to...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a GCSE electronics coursework project I'm doing at the moment. I'm in the final stages of building an automatic model railway signalling system (3-aspect colour lights), preferably to run off the accesory power supply of a controller, and I need t...

Absolutely stunning! Is the whistle still as per the original model, or did you re-do it after all?

Thanks for the info, Kevin. I hadn't seen the patches before.
She's looking really nice too. A truescale version would be wonderful, or if not at least a patch. Almost every time I've downloaded any NG stock from UKTS, it's turned out to be 2x scale.

Nice work! Any chance of this in Truescale (as I seem to remember that the Tal-y-llyn railway models were all 2x)? I ask because, having just re-installed MSTS, I've been mucking about on the Piddington, but am having trouble finding any more (suitable) stock...
Thanks,
Skinnylinny

Nice model Jontan. Can I ask what sort of valve gear that is? I've certainly never seen anything like it!
